Hello, so yesterday I tried to turn my car on but it didn't work. I though it is a problem with battery as day before it was a bit hard to turn it on, so I charged battery overnight. Now when I try to start the car I can hear only one "click" noise and nothing more. All ights, radio etc, works, it's just engine that doesn't want to start.

Plugged in my laptop with OP-COM software to read codes and after clearing all codes I getting only one which is:

"P0685-01 main relay circuit high voltage"

Any ideas what it could be and how to fix it?

This could be an issue with the relay or engine control module but with the battery in its current state I suspect the battery is the issue. Let's load test the battery using the guide below and replace the battery if needed.

Here is a guide that will help with the replacement:

Once you replace the battery I would suggest retesting all of this. I suspect the code will go away and the engine will start normally.

We don't have a manual on this vehicle as it is not offered here in the USA but I am sure we can figure this out with this info. Thanks
